I don't think you need to create this kind of inheritance, but instead, you could create projects with ForeignKeys that point to a certain project type.
This would of course then require some additional tweaking or customising on your models (such as the client, discipline, etc.), as Django, IIRC, isn't yet capable of doing what you've described below. -- Stefan Rimaila "A few bolts loose and a set of switches broken" Blog, personal portfolio & fun stuff: http://www.studionyami.com On Mon, 3 Sep 2007, Doug wrote: > > I m creating new models for a portfolio application.
